Erwin McManis speaks at Spiritual Emphasis Week
By Molly Chilver
Staff Writer
The Event Formerly
Known as Revival was a
week filled with life-changing decisions for some, and
a week of redirection for
others.
Speaker Erwin McManis
from the Church on Brady
in Los Angeles reached out
to students at all different
points in their walk with
God.
McManis quoted
Shakespeare in his first sermon on October 9, saying
that some of us are born
great, some of us achieve
greatness, and some of us
have greatness bestowed
upon us.
McManis used his own
life experience to illustrate
this and come to the conclusion that God gives us his
greatness through Jesus.
This was an exciting week
to learn about the great
things the Lord has planned
for us.
McManis showed all of
his points by using his own
life experiences as examples
of how great the Lord is.
Wednesday night in the
Wallace Book of Life Theater, Praise House led an
awesome time of worship.
The Holy Spirit was truly
felt in this time. The worship was followed by student testimonies and drama,
after which McManis got up
to address the crowd.
McManis spoke out of
2 Chronicles 6:32 and challenged the students to pray
for those who do not know
the Lord.
Through all of his sermons McManis illustrated
his point that having an

intimate relationship with
God can bring great things
into one's life. He shared a
personal story about when
he was a pastor in West
Dallas and bought a landfill
(without knowing that it was
one) to build a church on.
He told us about how
there was no soil to build on
and so the people of his
church prayed for soil. And
when the city came to do
another core sample, his
church rejoiced in the name
of the Lord because they
found soil and the city removed its red tag from the
property.
Thursday night in the
B.O.L., McManis spoke
again after Praise House led
worship. He had planned a
sermon, but he felt the Lord
leading him in a different
direction. Instead of

Urban Plunge mission trips coming soon
By Aimee Munson
Staff Writer
Acts 1:8 says, "But you
shall receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come
upon you; and you shall be
witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth." God is calling
each of us to be a missionary of some kind. If we
apply this verse to us here
at Cal Baptist it would say,
... in all of Riverside, in
California and in the
United States and to the
ends of the world.
One of the two biggest
responsibilities we have
as Christians is to tell
other people about Christ
and his love for us. We
need to tell the less fortunate who do not know
Jesus as their savior that
he died on the cross for
them so that they could
know the great joy and
peace we, as Christians,
have. On November 1 - 3,
about sixty people from
Cal Baptist will get first
hand experience at sharing Christ with the lost
through a short-term mission trip. The Urban
Plunge Ministry, supervised by Gloria Batres, the
...
Missions Outreach Coordinator, hopes that "the
students will increase their
burden for the lost and realize the great responsibility to reach out with compassion toothers." For the
13 students and two faculty members who go to
each city, this will be a
wonderful chance to see
themselves grow as Christians. Freshman Paula
Smith, a student participating in the L.A. mission trip
said that she plans to gain
"more compassion for
people in need and greater
understanding of how God
is working in the inner cit
ies."
Christians who do not
feel God leading them into
a certain ministry should
always remember to pray
for the missionaries and
the lost. The bible says in
Phillippians 4:6, "Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and
supplication let your requests be made known to
God."
For those who are interested in missions, be
sure to stop by the Campus Ministries office and
talk to Moses Caesar or
Gloria Batres about what
Cal Baptist offers.
